Our Symbol
|
|
Simplicity is the keynote of our
symbol; it follows the simplicity of our Fellowship. We could find all sorts of
occult and esoteric connotations in the simple outlines, but foremost in our
minds were easily understood meanings and relationships.
|
|
The outer circle denotes a
universal and total program that has room within for all manifestations of the
recovering and wholly recovered person.
|
|
The square, whose lines are
defined, is easily seen and understood; but there are other unseen parts of the
symbol. The square base denotes Goodwill, the ground of both the fellowship and
the member of our society. Good will is best exemplified by service; proper
service is "Doing the right thing for the right reason." When Good will
supports and motivates both the individual and the Fellowship, we are fully
whole and wholly free. Probably the last to be lost to freedom will be the
stigma of being an addict.
|
|
It is the four pyramid sides
which rise from this base in a three dimensional figure that are the Self,
Society, Service and God. All rise to the point of Freedom. All parts thus far
are closely related to the needs and aims of the addict who is seeking recovery
and the purpose of the fellowship seeking to make recovery available to all.
The greater the base, (as we grow in unity in numbers and in fellowship), the
broader the sides of the pyramid,and the higher the point of freedom.
